Host provided every thing we needed and more. Cottage was immaculate, location is perfect, front deck got a lot of use for coffee, reading, etc. And assigned parking space was a bonus.
Catherine A S. | Oct 2024
This house was a great fit for our family of four, but would have easily accommodated 6 very comfortably. We all had our own space with the 3 bedrooms, and the master bedroom is quite private compared to the rest of the house, which was nice. The kitchen has updated appliances that work great, and it was a huge plus to have a laundry room! Another big deal in my mind that is not mentioned in the list of "amenities" (or at least was not mentioned there when we booked) is that they have a gas grill out by the pool! Great to have that option for cooking! The family room area is small, but fit our family well, and the outdoor table is fantastic! It is huge and would easily seat 8 in very comfortable chairs - and being covered is a big plus as well! The community also seemed to be very safe which was a huge deal for us and two young kids! We never once felt insecure about anything, and the house locks up nicely if there is any apprehension. The house is also right behind a strip mall that has a small grocer, dollar tree, a gas station, and a couple restaurants. Very convenient location in our estimation. There were only two downsides to the house. The first one is honestly a bit nit-picky, and in reality adds to the character of the house, but if you have any light sleepers, the floor is an older wood floor and is quite creaky. Was not an issue with our heavier sleepers, and the plus side is that we always knew when the kids were wondering into our room. Second is the fact that the pool is not heated. This may not be an issue at all during the summer months. We went out there in October, and the weather was absolutely warm enough to go for a swim, but the nights get chilly and the pool was a bit too cold even for the kids to enjoy. A disclaimer to this is that we knew full well that the pool was not heated when we booked, so we did not go in blind, but it would be amazing if the pool was heated and a guest given an option to pay extra to have it heated for their time there. We would have gladly done that. All of that said, it is a very nice pool and I am sure is incredible to have when the temp is right! Overall we were extremely happy with our choice to stay here, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking at it! Great little house!!

Fantastic location for everything the beach and bay area have to offer. Large and clean unit with sweeping views. Great value.

Explore our San Diego, CA vacation rentals

Break out from the humdrum with a trip to sunny California. San Diego vacation rentals offer a convenient home base while you explore nearby city attractions, stunning beaches, and dive into the food scene. Welcome to California, there’s something here for everyone.

Where is San Diego, CA?

Just 13 miles from the seaside beach community of La Jolla, our San Diego beach house vacation rentals offer access to a cosmopolitan, vibrant city environment, but with exciting outdoor attractions like hiking, biking, fishing, and of course surfing, right nearby.

Outdoor activities in San Diego

There are 27 miles of car-free, winding, paved bike paths that loop around the activity-rich area of Mission Bay (great for families) and the Bayshore Bikeway includes 25 miles of scenic bike lanes along San Diego Bay. Whatever your skill level, you can find an adventure on two wheels —and a few photo ops on the way.

When you leave your vacation rental in the morning, you can explore the canyons, mountains, and deserts on two feet. Hiking trails are plentiful and well-groomed, whether you take off for an easy Sunset Cliffs beach walk or a three-mile vertical climb up Cowles Mountain. If you're looking to catch a wave, San Diego boasts big swells and waves, guaranteed to have you hanging ten before you know it.

Things to do in San Diego

Mission Bay boasts one of the largest aquatic parks in the world, so bring your water skis, kayaks, and fishing pole. With over 90 museums in San Diego County alone, this is a haven for arts and culture enthusiasts. Spend an afternoon walking around Balboa Park (home to the San Diego Museum of Art, Model Railroad Museum, and more), Old Town San Diego, and if you have kids, be sure to stop by the New Children's Museum downtown or the world-famous San Diego Zoo

With an impossibly tasty food scene, it’s only a matter of where to start in San Diego. Stop by a corner taco stall on your way to the beach, dig into fresh seafood by the water, or head to Hodad’s Downtown for a locally-loved giant burger. Don’t forget to cool down with ice cream while window shopping on the boardwalk.

At 120 miles south of Los Angeles, San Diego offers a gentle Mediterranean climate with plenty of sun and cool ocean breezes. The city boasts 70 miles of gorgeous beachy coastline, making it the perfect location for a memorable California getaway for the whole family, a romantic weekend, or even a surfing trip with friends. Browse beachfront homes, high-rise condos, or search stays by amenities for your home base in this sun-drenched coastal city.
